Topic: Setting a Date (Read 5481 times)

Well, after all of my hysteria and griping, it looks like we're setting a date for my chrismation and it's almost here. Fr. says he's thinking Pentecost which is kind of freaking me out because it's in 3-4 weeks.

Truthfully I don't know how I feel about it. I trust him to make the decision but it's sooner than I thought.

First it seemed like it would come much later than you wished and now it seems it comes much sooner--Don't worry, it's on God's time and He seems to like keeping you on your toes. Just trust in Him, He's bringing you home!!

congratulations, Jennifer i know how nerve-wracking it can be for the date to suddenly be very close (had the experience fairly recently), but as choirfriend said, it is in God's hands and on His time, which is very comforting, or I found it to be at least.

Now comes the hard part! It's also the best part. It's like taking all the boring scuba classes in the classroom, diving in a pool and then preparing to make that first dive. It's tougher than playing in the pool, but it's worth it.

i think there are some restrictions - the Sundays of Great Lent (Lazarus Saturday not withstanding ) maybe - but overall you can actually be received on any Sunday - or Saturday also. perhaps any day of the week? (ive never heard it done but who knows?) anyways i dont think ive helped answer ur question at all, since i think it could happen on any day now lol
